Another good typo:

'Lucius? Lucius Malfoy?' he asked as Snape's eyebrow rose steadily into his back hair.

Wow! That's limber, even considering that I think he's supposed to be somewhere in his twenties at this point.

This post has been brought to you by the letter L.

Polyjuice does the darndest things.

...Snape has back hair? Ew. I always figured him at only medium-hirsute.

Yeah, me too. Some on the arms and legs, a patch at the center of the chest maybe, a happy-trail. (Can't go without that; it gets described in every fucking fic after all. lol.) And if he grew a beard (which he doesn't) it would be the thinnish type that stays down near the jawline, or a sort of wispy goatee. hehe.

Bwahahaha. Even without the typo that'd still be a rather impressive feat. Unless he has bushy eyebrows of dooooom!

It would be humourous exaggeration at that point, since the whole fic had a kind of wry tone to it.

Still I'm amused at the image of Severus with two black caterpillars over his eyes.

I can do the Spock eyebrow thing, too, and I have to say I've never managed steadily rising brow - it's up, it's down, I frown - but it's not in a state of continuous motion up for a great length of time, that would just be....creepy.

If it rose into his back hair, I wonder where it started. He really should have that looked at.

I never pictured him as furry either, you would think James & Co. would have teased him about it if he was. Oops! Logic!

Or we would have heard comments in Harry's narrative voice or something, yeah. I've wanted to use this defense sometimes when I see people saying odd things like Snape smelled bad, or whatever. Surely, if he did, we would have heard about it at some point from Harry, Sirius, or James. (For that matter, I'm not sure when or if the word "ugly" is actually used. We get a lot of harping on individual features, but that specific word? I don't know. It's one of my many snipe hunts I need to get around to.)
